THE SOLE OF AFRICA CAMPAIGN

While the Mineseeker Foundation, is  primarily concerned with the removal of landmines using our new technology, we are also involved with the regeneration of land, for agriculture.
Once land is liberated from mines it can be returned to the local population to farm,  providing food, jobs and a local economy.
The plan is to obtain reclaimed land in 100,000 acre parcels and create a co-operative for the local people.
We have formed partnerships with other organisations including The Salvation Army, The International Youth Foundation, Feed the Children and the Pacific Institute. We will instigate a programme that teaches the people how to farm the land – a ‘Foster Management Plan’ that will teach them how to sow, grow harvest and sell their produce. This self empowerment programme must be the only way to sort out the problems of Africa, properly. There are huge tracts of unusable, mined land available throughout Africa, we have already negotiated in South Africa for parcels of land to be made available to us for the co-operative plan. We have major commercial interest from large corporate concerns to become involved with this farming programme that will affect so many people's lives.

The Sole of Africa project is being undertaken one country at a time – we are not trying to solve the problem in one go, that is impossible. You will see that the project has a call to action by the Mandela's and other Patrons, asking everyone to ‘Put their foot down’ to fix the problem once and for all. To this end we are launching a pin badge campaign, using a casting from the actual feet of the patrons.

PLANNED EVENTS FOR 2008
A Television appeal film will be broadcast in the USA.
A book is being launched by Mark Victor Hansen (author of Chicken soup for the soul). called "Chicken Soup for the Sole of Africa".
The pin badge campaign with be launched.
Major fund raising events will be taking place in the USA, South Africa and the UK to launch the project.
